I am going to list step by step what occured in a very short version and give the answer the project should have made use of from day 1 although now it is too late and their weakness has been exposed it does not mean the server dies today or tomorrow or in 2018 but that it will die smeday due to the snowball effect set in motion by the wrong actions when things where dire.
1. Community found a GM abusing power and deleting logs
2. Team dispersed and lead refused to communicate
3. Shenna cracked under stress and posted something labeled transparancy but it only contained an angry rant and was deleted 3 days later, it can still be found as this is the internet so trying to cover up a mess isnt possible, here it is: www.reddit.com/r/ElysiumProject/comments/5veroa/you_want_transparency_here_it_is/
4. They recruited new developers and promoted another lead developer and the 1st stepped down and the one supposed to step up had lost hope in the project due to corruption and doubt from the community.
5. Sheep follow and Wolf's sit around the campfire with popcorn watching the carnage go down
6. The project goes on unknowing of how much damage this remaining doubt from the drama will harm them
7. most likely some servers or players will use this corruption drama for some youtube's or reddit posts to slowly increase the doubt of corruption as it was handled rather poorly with many loose ends to poke at.
0. What should have transpired ?
